Little knitting post

I finished the Coquille and it just needs blocking.  I'm pretty happy with it.  It is difficult to accept the weird color changes in the yarn, though; it doesn't seem to follow any repeating pattern.  Just when I thought it did, the sequence seemed to mirror-image and go back the other way, leaving a huge streak of one color in middle.  All 3 skeins I bought are like that, so it's probably not a manufacturing flaw.

Also, I think I need to play around with it after blocking to get the best idea of how to wear it.  I've never owned a shawlette before; do I just treat it like a scarf or should I wrap my shoulders like a shawl and just deal with it looking really tiny?  We'll see.

So I went on to the next thing: Whisper.  I swatched on a #7 and once I block the swatch I can probably dive into the knitting.  Which is good, because I've been project-less for two days and I am getting antsy.

It's definitely not a flaw - the same thing happened with the mini mochi socks I'm knitting - colors changed directions mid-skein.

Have fun with Whisper - With any luck, we'll both have finished light-weight cardigans this year.
